Fear Factory in Stockholm

Fear Factory is an American industrial-metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1989. Their music pairs tightly synchronized guitar riffs and drums with electronic textures and a contrast between harsh and clean vocals. The albums Demanufacture and Obsolete established that sound through songs including “Replica,” “Shock” and “Edgecrusher,” while “Linchpin” became a key track from Digimortal. Fear Factory joined Iron Maiden’s The X Factour in 1995 and played the first Ozzfest the following year. In 2005, they toured on the inaugural Gigantour, whose lineup also included Megadeth, Dream Theater and Anthrax.
